Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process for catalytically removing nitrogen oxides from an oxygen rich exhaust gas containing nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons, exhausted from, for example, boilers, automobile engines. More specifically, it relates to a process for removing nitrogen oxides using a catalyst extremely superior in activity and durability.
- oxygen rich exhaust gas used herein is intended to mean an exhaust gas containing oxygen in an amount exceeding the amount of oxygen necessary for completely oxidizing reducing agent such as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons contained in the exhaust gas.
- specific examples of such an exhaust gas include exhaust gases discharged, for example, from internal combustion engines of automobiles operating at a high air/fuel ratio (i.e., in the lean burn region).
- the processes for removing nitrogen oxides from an exhaust gas discharged from boilers, automobile engines, and the like, which are in actual use are the process of selective catalytic reduction using ammonia in the presence of a catalyst or the process of non-selective catalytic reduction which passes the exhaust gas through a catalyst and reduces it by the unburnt carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons.
- Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication (Kokai) No. 60-125250 proposes a copper-ion-exchanged zeolite as a catalyst for the catalytical direct decomposition of nitrogen oxides in the absence of a reducing agent.
- a catalyst which includes a base (or non-noble) metal in the zeolite etc. as a catalyst capable of selectively reducing the nitrogen oxides by a reducing agent of the unburnt carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, etc. even in an oxygen rich atmosphere (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication (Kokai) No. 63-100919).
- the object of the present invention is to provide a process for efficiently purifying an exhaust gas, in particular an oxygen rich exhaust gas discharged from an internal combustion engine of, for example, an automobile, without using a reducing agent such as ammonia and for purifying an exhaust gas using a catalyst superior in durability at a high temperature in the presence of steam.
- the present inventors engaged in intensive studies on the above problem and, as a result, found that by using a catalyst obtained by introducing phosphorus and one or more active metals to a zeolite, it is possible to efficiently purify an exhaust gas even after use at a high temperature and thus completed the present invention.
- a process for removing nitrogen oxides from an oxygen rich exhaust gas containing nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons comprising bringing the oxygen rich exhaust gas into contact with a catalyst composed of phosphorus and at least one active metal contained in a zeolite having a molar ratio of SiO2/Al2O3 of at least 15.
- the catalyst used in the present invention is a catalyst composed of a zeolite having a molar ratio of the SiO2/Al2O3 of at least 15 in which phosphorus and at least one active metal are contained.
- the molar ratio of the SiO2/Al2O3 of the zeolite usable in the present invention should be at least 15. There is no upper limit on the molar ratio of the SiO2/Al2O3. If the molar ratio of the SiO2/Al2O3 is less than 15, a sufficient durability cannot be obtained. The preferable molar ratio is 15 to 200.
- the type of the zeolite is also not particularly limited. For example, use may be made of mordenite, ferrierite, zeolite- ⁇ , ZSM-5, ZSM-8, ZSM-11, ZSM-12, ZSM-20, ZSM-35, or other zeolites. Among these, ZSM-5 is preferably used.
- the processes for producing these zeolites are also not limited. Further, they may also be dealuminated zeolites such as zeolite Y and zeolite L.
- the zeolite usable is one as synthesized or after calcination. It is also possible to use the zeolite ion-exchanged with a proton or ammonium ion by treating the ions of, for example, sodium in the zeolite by an ammonium salt or mineral acid etc. Further, use may be made of one ion exchanged with, for example, potassium, cesium, barium.
- the method of incorporation of the phosphorus into the zeolite catalyst is not particularly limited, but it is possible to introduce it by a impregnation method using a conventional aqueous solution or organic solvent. Further, it may be introduced by a physical mixing method in which a phosphorus compound is physically mixed with a zeolite in the solid state or in the solution. Also, it is possible to treat the zeolite using a gas containing a phosphorus compound to introduce the same to the zeolite. Furthermore, when copper phosphate or silver phosphate is introduced into a zeolite, a conventional precipitation method may be preferably used.
- an aqueous solution of a copper salt for example, copper acetate, copper nitrate, copper sulfate, copper chloride, or other soluble copper salts
- an aqueous solution of a silver salt for example, silver acetate, silver nitrate, silver sulfate, or other soluble silver salts

- metals of Group VIII such as, iron, cobalt, nickel, ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, platinum
- metals of Group VIa such as, chromium, molybdenum, or metals of Group VIIa such as, manganese
- Particularly copper or cobalt are preferable.
- the method of introduction of the active metal into the zeolite catalyst is not particularly limited. Use may be made of techniques such as impregnation, or ion exchange. When the active metal is present at an ion exchange site of the zeolite catalyst, it has high durability, and therefore, it is preferable to introduce the active metal into the zeolite by an ion-exchange method.
- the ion exchange may be carried out by mixing the phosphorus-containing zeolite into an aqueous solution containing salts of the active metal, followed by stirring and washing.
- salts of the active metal use may suitably be made of salts of the active metals, such as chlorides, nitrates, sulfates, acetates. Further, use may suitably be used of, for example, ammine complex salts of active metals.

- the concentration of the slurry for ion exchange is preferably 5% to 50% by weight, as usual.
- the ion exchange temperature and time are preferably from room temperature to 100°C and 5 minutes to three days so as to give sufficient activity and durability. Further, the ion exchange operation may be repeatedly performed, if necessary.
- the exhaust gas purification catalyst used in the present invention can be prepared.

- Example 19 The same procedure of Example 19 was repeated to prepare the catalyst 18, except that, instead of the aqueous solution of the 0.050 mol/liter of silver acetate in Example 19, use was made of an aqueous solution of 0.024 mol/liter of silver acetate, and that, instead of the aqueous solution of 0.016 mol/liter of ammonium dihydrogen phosphate, use was made of an aqueous solution of 0.0084 mol/liter of ammonium dihydrogen phosphate. Chemical analysis thereof showed that the composition was as follows, expressed by the molar ratio of the oxides on an anhydrous basis: 1.10CuO, 0.30Ag2O, 0.06P2O5, Al2O3, 41SiO2
- Example 19 The same procedure of Example 19 was repeated, to prepare the catalyst 19, except that Co ion exchange was performed, instead of the Cu ion exchange in Example 19.
- the Co ion exchange was carried out as follows:
- the silver phosphate-containing zeolite was added to 90 cc of an aqueous solution of 0.22 mol/liter of cobalt (II) acetate, stirred at 60°C for 20 hours, then washed, to subject to a conventional Co ion exchange operation. This operation was repeated twice, then the product was dried to prepare the catalyst 19.
- Chemical analysis thereof showed the composition was as follows, expressed by the molar ratio of the oxides on an anhydrous basis: 1.20CuO, 0.50Ag2O, 0.10P2O5, Al2O3, 41SiO2
- Example 11 The same procedures of Example 11 were repeated to evaluate the durability of the catalysts 17 to 19. The results are shown in Table 4. Table 4 NO and C3H6 Conversion (%) at Various Temperatures After Endurance Treatment Catalyst No. 300°C 400°C 500°C NO C3H6 NO C3H6 NO C3H6 Catalyst 17 5 8 19 76 27 97 Catalyst 18 3 7 17 64 27 94 Catalyst 19 3 7 16 21 23 53
- Example 1 The same procedure of Example 1 was repeated to prepare a blue-violet colored Cu ion exchanged ZSM-5 (i.e., Comparative Catalyst 1), except that phosphorus was not introduced on the zeolite. Chemical analysis thereof showed that the composition was as follows, expressed by the molar ratio of the oxides on an anhydrous basis: 1.03CuO, Al2O3, 41SiO2
- Example 4 The same procedure of Example 4 was repeated to prepare a pink colored Co ion exchanged ZSM-5 (i.e., Comparative Catalyst 2), except that phosphorus was not introduced on the zeolite. Chemical analysis thereof showed that the composition was as follows, expressed by the molar ratio of the oxides on an anhydrous basis: 1.40CoO, Al2O3, 41SiO2
- Example 10 The same procedure of Example 10 was repeated to prepare a gray colored Cu loaded ZSM-5 (i.e., Comparative Catalyst 3), except that phosphorus was not introduced on the zeolite. Chemical analysis thereof showed that the composition was as follows, expressed by the molar ratio of the oxides on an anhydrous basis: 1.01CuO, Al2O3, 41SiO2
- Example 11 The same procedures of Example 11 were repeated using the Comparative Catalysts 1 to 3 obtained in Comparative Examples 1 to 3 to evaluate the durability of the catalysts. The results are shown in Table 5. Table 5 NO and C3H6 Conversion (%) at Various Temperatures After Endurance Treatment Catalyst No. 300°C 400°C 500°C NO C3H6 NO C3H6 NO C3H6 Comp. Catalyst 1 1 13 5 64 16 96 Comp. Catalyst 2 1 8 7 23 17 58 Comp. Catalyst 3 0 4 3 52 14 87
- Nitrogen oxides are removed from an oxygen rich exhaust gas containing nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons by bringing the oxygen rich exhaust gas into contact with a catalyst composed of phosphorus and at least one active metal contained in a zeolite having a molar ratio of SiO2/Al2O3 of at least 15.
